Intended Use

The Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® are titanium alloy abutments placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® abutments are indicated for screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® abutments are to be designed using Sirona inLab software (Version 3.65 or higher) or Sirona CEREC Software (Version 4.2 or higher) and manufactured using a Sirona CEREC or inLab MC X or MC XL milling unit.

Device Story

Straumann Variobase for CEREC abutments (Ti-bases) are titanium-aluminum-niobium (TAN) alloy components; interface between Straumann dental implants and customized prosthetic restorations (copings/crowns). Device used in dental clinics; operated by dental professionals. Workflow: clinician uses Sirona CEREC or inLab software (v3.65+/4.2+) to design restorations; Sirona CEREC/inLab MC X or MC XL milling units fabricate copings/crowns from compatible milling blanks; restoration cemented onto Variobase abutment. Interlocking feature on coronal portion augments cemented adhesion. Output: customized dental prosthesis. Benefits: enables chairside or lab-based digital design/fabrication of implant-supported restorations, ensuring dimensional matching and structural integrity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes dimensional verification of milled coping fit on abutments, worst-case dynamic fatigue testing demonstrating compliance with minimum fatigue properties, and process validation of the Variobase within the Sirona CEREC InLab workflow. Sterilization validated per ISO 17665-1, ISO/TR 17665-2, and ANSI/AAMI ST79.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium-Aluminum-Niobium (TAN) alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb). Form factor: Stock titanium abutment (Ti-base) with coronal interlocking feature. Connectivity: Compatible with Sirona CEREC/inLab CAD/CAM systems. Sterilization: Validated per ISO 17665-1, ISO/TR 17665-2, and ANSI/AAMI ST79.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations supported by Straumann dental implants. Contraindicated in patients with known allergies or hypersensitivity to titanium or titanium-aluminum-niobium (TAN) alloy.

Copings and crowns designed using these or more recent versions of the Sirona software, within the design limits as defined within the design software, are compatible with the Straumann Variobase for CEREC abutments. ## 6.5 Indications For Use The Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® are titanium alloy abutments placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® abutments are indicated for screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® abutments are to be designed using Sirona inLab software (Version 3.65 or higher) or Sirona CEREC Software (Version 4.2 or higher) and manufactured using a Sirona CEREC or inLab MC X or MC XL milling unit. ## 6.6 Substantial Equivalence and Performance Testing The Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® are made of the same TAN alloy material and the same base design as primary predicate Straumann® Variobase® Abutments previously cleared for the Straumann® implant platforms RN, WN, RC and NC. The only difference is that the coronal portion of these abutments has been designed to interface with the milling blanks used to create copings and crowns with the Sirona CEREC® CAD/CAM system. The new design assures dimensional matching of the CEREC® restorations with the Straumann Variobase for CEREC ®abutments and provides an interlocking feature to augment the cemented adhesion of the restoration onto the abutment. The subject Straumann Variobase for CEREC abutments are functionally equivalent to the reference predicate Sirona SSO series Ti-base abutments previously cleared to market per K100152 and the reference predicate Sirona SBL series Ti-base abutments previously cleared to market per K111421. The Sirona SSO series Ti-bases have been shown by Sirona to be compatible with Straumann Tissue Level implants and the Sirona SBL series Ti-bases have been shown by Sirona to be compatible with Straumann Bone Level implants. The coronal geometry of the subject devices is equivalent to the coronal geometry of the reference predicates, therefore copings and crowns fabricated using the Sirona software and milling systems will be compatible with the subject devices. The following performance testing was submitted in this 510(k) to support substantial equivalence: - Dimensional verification using CEREC® e.max blocks, which confirmed the . appropriate fit of the milled coping on the abutment - . Worst case dynamic fatigue testing demonstrating compliance with the - minimum required fatigue properties of the Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® . - abutments with cemented e.max CADCAM coping ● - Process validation of the Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® within the Sirona . CEREC® InLab workflow {6}------------------------------------------------ Section 6: 510(k) Summary - Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1, ISO/TR 17665-2 and ● ANSI/AAMI ST79 There have been no changes to the materials, packaging, or recommended sterilization method/parameters for these devices as compared to the primary predicate devices. {7}------------------------------------------------ # Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® Traditional 510(k) ## Section 6: 510(k) Summary | FEATURE | SUBJECT DEVICE Straumann Variobase for CEREC Abutments | PRIMARY PREDICATE Straumann Variobase Abutments (K142890) | EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION | |-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended Use | Intended to be placed into Straumann dental implants to provide support for prosthetic reconstructions such as crowns. | Prosthetic components directly connected to the endosseous dental implant are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations. | Substantially equivalent | | Indications for Use | The Straumann® Variobase® for CEREC® are titanium alloy abutments placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations.
